WINDOW SASI-I.

Application filed December 19, 1924, Serial No. 757,061. Renewed October18, 1927.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in window sashes.

One object of the invention is to provide a novel and improvedconstruction of window sashes whereby the glass may be secured thereinwithout the use of putty.

Another object is to provide a window sash construction of thischaracter which is easy to take apart and reassemble, when changingglass, and wherein the glass will be firmly clamped against rattling,and to prevent entrance of moisture.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the followingdescription when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing.

In the drawing:

Figure l is an elevation of a portion of window sash made in accordancewith the present invention.

Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view on the line 22 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a transverse sectional view on the line 3-3 of Figure 1.

Referring particularly to the accompanying drawing, 10 represents thevertical side stiles of the sash, and 11 the upper transverse rail. Inthe outer vertical face of each of the side stiles or rails 10 there isformed a groove 12, one wall of which is at right angles to the saidface of the rail, while the other wall is underbeveled, as shown at 13and 14:, respectively. Disposed on the grooved face of the side stile 10is a strip 15, which is of the same width as the stile, and formed onthe inner face of said strip is a longitudinal rib 16, one wall of whichis disposed in parallel relation to the wall 13, of the groove 12, whilethe opposite wall is beveled and contacts with the beveled wall of theroove. Threaded through the outer side of the stile are two screws 17,the inner ends of which engage in grooves or notches 18, formed in theadjacent side of the rib 16. When the said screws are turned inwardlythey force the rib 16, and the strip, transversely of the stile, whileat the same time the beveled face of the rib slides on the beveled wallof the groove to cause the strip to move inwardly against the face ofthe stile. The inner edge portions of the stile and strip arelongitudinally rabbeted, as shown at 19, and secured within each rabbetisa strip of soft rubber 20, whereby when the parts are properlyoperated the rubber strips will be pressed tightly against the oppositesides of the glass pane 21, adjacent the edge thereof, said edge beingdisposed within the groove formed by the cooperating rabbets.

In the outer face of the upper rail 11 there is formed a groove 22,similar to the groove 12, a strip 23 being removably secured to theouter face of the rail by means of the rib 24, which engages within thegroove in.

the same nianneras that described with respect to the stiles. The strip23 is also rabbeted, as shown at '25, and has the rubber strip 26secured therewithin. The rail is correspondingly rabbeted at 27 andprovided with the rubber strip 28, which cooperates with the strip 26 toclamp the lower edge portion of the glass therebetween. The rail 11 isalso provided with the screws 29 which engage with the rib 24 to forcethe strip into proper glass clamping position.

The outer faces of the strips of the stiles are cut away, at the ends,as shown at 30,.

to form rabbets for the reception of the correspondingly formed ends ofthe strip 23.

It will thus be seen that the screws serve to hold the strips tightlyagainst the stiles and rails, and also to firmly hold the glass againstrattling. Furthermore, the rubber strips serve to prevent passage ofwater. a

What is claimed is:

1. A window sash including frame members each having an undercut groovein one of its wider faces, a strip disposed in covering relation tothegrooved face of the frame member and having a beveled rib engaged 1nsald groove, glass engaging means carried by the frame member andoperatively engaged with the strip whereby to lllOVC said strip to clampthe edge of a glass 10 panebetween it and said frame member.

In testimony whereof, I afti i ny sig natrlre.

GEORGE MISHOE.
